Karen's Mayday Mile

I’m taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile challenge and support the courageous crews?

Setting off in the rain

Finishing line in sight

Sunday 26th May
Started our walk in the rain,  was about to have a moan when I realised the people we are raising funds for go out in worse weather than a bit of rain. Set of and did a mile and a bit more. RNLI certainly give you the motivation to support them.
